Remove crosshairs from ranged weapons

[Jan_van_Zuidwijk]

Lots of people are still being archers or ranged for they're devious and sinister reasons... why not we remove crosshairs

[Korgoth]

Because there will be the same problem that the Vikingr mod had.

People can easily go into the mod files and apply the Crosshair back into the game. Also people can go on native, find out where the crosshair is and stick bluetak onto the screen.

Another reason: why the hell nerf archers anymore!?

[Stud_Muffin]

Give melee crosshairs. We want to be in the love too =(

[Kalam]

Eh. Archers don't use the crosshairs to aim, with the new shoot speed. They use them to time their shots.

It just lets you know when your arrow will actually be able to release now 

[Miley]

They're already nerfed a little too much. This isn't a melee only game.

Count down from ten? What are you using, a longbow/ 
Sorry, could not resist.

OP is a lackluster troll for the record, I expected better from the title.

Because archers suck as it is. 
Historically a longbow man could keep three arrows going until he ran out.  One striking the target, one in transit, one leaving the bow. 
Nations that used short recurve bows such as the Mongols had a high fire rate. At the moment an archer isn't much quicker than a crossbow and with lag affecting things actually hitting a target, let alone killing it is difficult enough.
Taking the crosshairs away would make it nigh on impossible to use the class as was intended.

Let put it this way.  We could not re-enact the battle of Agincourt as it is because the archers would only be able to get off one arrow before the cav hit and mowed them down.  Why make it worse.

Of course there are other ways of adding a dot onto your screen anyways.

they just want to make bows and crossbows even more sidearm weapons that they are now. ;)

But what about us 3rd person players?

[Grey]

OP must really need a shield. Shall we all drop him 100 gamegold so he can buy himself a steel shield and we can all move on?
